Trivia[]
- Ken is a panelist on the UK version of The Masked Singer.[1]
- However, in episode 5, he was replaced by Donny Osmond, aka Peacock.[2] He was also replaced in episode six by Sharon and Kelly Osbourne, aka Ladybug.
- For the second series, Ken was replaced by British comedian Mo Gilligan due to travel restrictions placed in accordance with the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Ken also hosts the new Fox series I Can See Your Voice, which features Adrienne Bailon, aka Flamingo, as a regular panelist.
- His catchphrase is "I know EXACTLY who this is!". He usually says this line when he thinks he is spot on about who the masked celebrity is.
- Often, the audience will boo his craziest guesses, and Nick will lead them in a chant of "No, Ken!".
- To a lesser extent, he also says "Hear me out" "Stay with me" or "Let me finish" before or when he explains his reasoning behind his guesses. He also says "How dare you!" when the audience shoots down his crazy guesses.
- Ken habitually refers to host Nick Cannon as "Daddy" as a running gag. In Season 5, he refers to guest host Niecy Nash as "Mommy".
- In another running gag, when Ken goes overboard with his guesses or rambles too much while standing up, Nick tells him to "Sit yo ass down!".
- In The Holiday Sing-a-Long, Ken performed “The Little Drummer Boy” by Pentatonix while wearing a toy soldier costume.
- Out of all ten seasons of The Masked Singer (US), Ken has only correctly guessed 18 of the 166 contestants.
- Season 5 was the first season Ken got a First Impression guess right, correctly identifying Phoenix and Crab.
- Despite his often outrageous guesses, he has been runner-up for the Golden Ear trophy twice.
- Ken is often referred to as Ken Jeong Wrong because he has the least correct guesses out of any panel member on The Masked Singer (US).
- Ken is the first panelist to walk off the set in protest, after Rudy Giuliani was unmasked as Jack in the Box in season 7.
- Ken appeared on the South Korean version of the show as the guest mask, "Golden Pig".
